What did I do wrong? Hi, Amy, Unfortunately, I am not sure how Family Tree Maker works, so I hope someone else here will be able to tell us about exporting GEDCOMs from FTM. In Reunion, I have the ability to "mark" or "unmark" individuals in the database. Then, when I choose the option "export GEDCOM", Reunion asks me if I want to export everybody in the database, or just the "marked" people. If you wanted to just do a specific line, you could just mark all those individuals of that line, then export the GEDCOM. In Reunion, to make the "marking" process easier, I can go to (for example) the earliest ancestor of a particular line, then choose "mark descendants of". That way, I don't have to scroll through my database one name at a time, marking or unmarking people. I would imagine Family Tree Maker has similar features...we just need someone who uses that software to tell us what they are. <smile> Hope this helps a little, Melissa
